Board-certified orthopedic surgeon Kevin L. Fain, MD, FAAOS, enjoys providing his patients with life-enhancing treatments, such as joint replacement, arthroscopic surgery, sports medicine procedures and reconstruction for orthopedic trauma cases. “It’s very gratifying to see somebody who came into your office in a wheelchair come walking back in three months later after surgery.”

After being in private practice for 17 years, Dr. Fain became a UT Health East Texas physician, which gave him more time to do what he enjoys most. “It has freed me up to concentrate solely on the practice of medicine.”

I'm so thankful to Dr. Fain, PA Vanessa and all of his staff. Everyone was kind and helpful. And I really appreciate Dr. Fain's "bedside manner". I believe he genuinely cares about his patients.

Dr. Fain and his staff were very friendly and helpful— they helped me quickly and compassionately— I was still in a lot of pain from my injury. They also were helped me a lot with pricing, as I am uninsured and paying cash.
